Daniel quotes from The Mentalist

Daniel

That last hand. How did you do that?

Jane

Oh, I cheated.

Daniel

But how?

Jane

Next time we play, I'll show you.

Lisbon

Did your wife have anything to do with this?

Daniel

No. No. She had nothing to do with this. And the idiot never suspected it was me. How's that for denial? How did you know it was me?

Jane

Well, when we first met, you were more concerned about the college football scores than you were your father-in-law's murder.

Daniel

So?

Jane

So when you're searching for a killer, the degenerate gambler in the room is a good person to look at.

Daniel

I'm not degenerate. I'm a professional. I'm just having a streak of bad luck.

Lisbon

Yes, you are.

Dr. Daniel

You're ambitious, more than you let anyone see. A girl from nowheresville, desperate to make it big, but you're worried that you'll always be smalltown, smalltime, you haven't got what it takes, and that's why you're so shut down to everything but this job.

Grace

Dr. Daniel, no offense, but I've been working with Patrick Jane for nine months now. You wanna get under my skin, you're gonna have to up your game.
